  Storyboard for my Music Video First Shot: The main character is seen laying in bed and wakes up. The shot will be a wide shot to show not only the main character but their room as well. The main character will be in their pajamas in their bedroom. Second Shot: This shot will show the alarm clock with the time slightly after 12 to match the lyrics. The shot will be a close up. Ideally, the alarm clock will be pink and sparkly to match the main character’s personality. Third Shot: This shot will be an extreme close up of the alarm clock, zooming in from the previous shot. Fourth Shot: This shot will be an aerial shot of a breakfast meal. This shot will be in the kitchen, but it will not be clear in this shot. Fifth Shot: The next shot will be another aerial shot but will show more. The main character will push the plate away. The main character will still be in pajamas. The kitchen will be more shown in this shot. Sixth Shot: This next shot will be a medium long shot of the main charac

  Research Blog: Music Video Conventions To research our music video, we first watched the music video made by Hoku. The music video had many different cross cuts with scenes from Legally Blonde. There was a split screen of the singer from Hoku and the character Elle from Legally Blonde to show how the two are similar. There are various medium long shots, medium shots, and medium close ups to showcase the singer of Hoku as the stereotypical perfect girl. The setting in which the music video is taking place is constantly changing, from the singer getting her nails done to shopping to walking on the street. A frequent setting shown is all of Hoku in a grassy area to show the band playing. The use of different costume changes, makeup, bright lighting, and props truly establishes this singer to have the perfect life and be the perfect girl. The second video we watched was Legally Blonde’s intro featuring Perfect Day. Just like Hoku’s music video, the intro establishes Elle Woods to be the

     For the upcoming music video project, I plan on working with three other people. Two of them, Kaitlyn Casella and Kamille Keith, were in my group for the previous project. I had previously said that I had planned on working with them again because I loved having them as partners. This time though we plan on working with one additional person from another period, Siena Louise. We all, once again, preferred to work together in a group because doing it by ourselves is most liley to be more difficult. I'm pretty confident that I can rely on them to do their part and get the work done. They seem to have good work ethic, and are good friends of mine so I know we'll work well together. We had an idea for the song we wanted to do, but still haven't come to a final decision. When it comes to who will be doing what (acting, filming, directing, etc.), we haven't had the chance to even touch on the subject, so hopefully we can talk more on that next time we talk. I'm very

 My name is Sofia, and welcome back to my blog! I'm in 10th grade and I am 16 years old. Again, I'm taking this class mainly because I know it is a good class to have under your belt for college, and the course itself seemed pretty interesting. I do only one sport, which is swimming; I do year-round club swimming for my city and I also am on my school's swim team. In all honesty, I don't get much free time, but when I do, I enjoy reading, watching Netflix, and doing things with my friends and my dog Loui. I don't have a favorite movie, but I am a HUGE MCU fan, so I consider all marvel movies my favorite movies. As for my dog Loui, he is the cutest thing in the world. He's a white Maltese, and I don't know what I would do without him (his birthday is on Halloween). I'm actually allergic to dogs, but I'm completely okay with getting allergies a couple times a week if it means we get to keep him. He was the only thing keeping me company during quarantin
